Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's a losing battle, tryin' to be sane
Leaves me tired and listless
If I'm gonna jump in front of a train
I'll wait till after Christmas
Don't wanna overstay my welcome
Don't wanna overstay my welcome
[Verse 2]
Like hyperthermia in the coldest place
Too easy to accept its warm embrace, 'cause I
Don't wanna overstay my welcome
I wanna go with dignity, please help me
[Verse 3]
The bath turned red and her lips turned blue
Don't go thinking there was something you could do
It's bad, I know but it's true
The world changed when she turned blue
[Verse 4]
Hanging from a chord, the naked truth
You know it rings true
The world changed when she turned blue
Don't wanna overstay my welcome
I wanna go with dignity, please help me
Don't wanna overstay my welcome
I wanna go with dignity, please help me
[Outro]
I wanna go with dignity, please help me
I wanna go with dignity, please help me
